#wotr #partofaseries Till Death Do Us Part (Ariel Kimber 7) by Mary Martel  

Leave a comment

Ariel Kimber and her coven are under imminent threat from the Council. They are monsters, without fangs or horns, who hide behind their mantle of power, and they will do anything to get what they want.

The problem is, they want Ariel. They want her so badly that every other person around her is in danger just by being near her.

The Council forgot one very important fact though—Ariel Kimber is no victim. She’s a survivor, and the Council is stupid to think they can simply take her and destroy everything and everyone she loves.

She will do whatever it takes to keep her coven safe, even if she has to go through hell to do it. They are all more than willing to fight alongside her because she’s finally agreed to spend the rest of her life tied to them in every way possible.

They have a lot to fight for.

The goal is to make it to the other side without losing anyone along the way because they want their happily ever after.

And they want to be able to say till death do us part.

But life for Ariel Kimber is never that easy.

And it never will be

Review by Twinsie Dee

I was given this book by the author for an honest review 

Once again we are back with my favorite coven of witches, Ariel and her coven have fought through a lot to keep their family save and even adding a few members to their family they weren’t expecting to. Well it was finally Ariel’s 18th birthday and the guys and her father were not going to let her not celebrate it after years of not being able to celebrate it. With things finally calming down Ariel couldn’t help but feel like something was going to happen but she just didn’t know when but something bad was coming. The Council was still leaking around ready to strike and when they did it was going to be big, but would they be able to pull it off. Would Ariel and the guys be able to protect their family from everything the Council was trying to take from them, will Quinton get Ariel down the isle, will the salt and pepper twins finally get some naked twister that they deserve there are so many answers that you just need to read to find. OMG Mary did not disappoint with this much awaited book I’m so glad to have this coven and world back I’ve had sooooo many fist pumps to the sky, its about times screamed, and are you serious while reading it. This makes my heart so happy and I’m ready for the next one.

Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, and her two beautiful daughters. She’s an avid reader, and when not writing she can be found with her nose stuck in a book.

#WOTR22 Collision Force (Crossing Forces Book 1) by C.A. Szarek

Leave a comment

The last thing Andi needs is a cocky FBI agent…
Badboy FBI agent Cole Lucas always gets his man. So when the unthinkable happens and one gets away, Cole grits his teeth and hunts the human trafficker all the way to Antioch, Texas, where he collides with Detective Andi MacLaren.

Cole doesn’t do small towns and he doesn’t get involved with women he works with, but Andi tempts him in ways he doesn’t want to acknowledge.

Two murders, her partner shot and leading the investigation on her own, the last thing Andi needs is a cocky FBI agent that sees her as no more than a tagalong.
As a widow and single mother, she’s used to being on her own. When Cole gets stuck without a place to stay, crashing on her couch puts them in dangerous territory.

Attraction and passion bring Andi to a place she left behind when her husband died.
Her three-year-old son quickly wiggles his way into Cole’s heart, and he starts contemplating things—family, love—that he’d never planned for himself.

Can being forced to work together make them stronger or will their differences jeopardize their case and their hearts?

I chose to read this book because so far I have loved everything that C.A. Szarek has written. Love fantasy romance? Read Sword’s Call. 😉

Collision Force is Romantic Suspense and wow does it ever live up to the genre. It’s fast paced and keeps you on your toes from beginning to end. It’s definitely a page turner and I didn’t want it to end. You fall deeply in love with the characters and at time’s want to bash their heads in. When does that not happen in a romance book? Lol!

Andi is headstrong and I just love her. Definitely one of my favorite heroine’s. She keeps Cole on his toes and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. She’s a role model for young girls and I can’t wait to read about her and Cole.

Cole…yeah, wow. Ok, he’s hot. Shower scene? Holy crap balls batman. LOVED IT! Definitely yummy and a perfect alpha male. Love him!

Without giving too much away, some things happen to bring Andi and Cole together and I, as demented this may sound, really love the bad guys. They’re written so well, they creep me out and that’s the point right?

I think Andi and Cole will be my favorite couple throughout this series just because they were the first but I can’t wait to read the next book. Great job C.A. Szarek and keep up the wonderful work!

-Ainsley-

He was kind.

Caring.

Patient.

Cyrus Butcher wasn’t like any man I had ever met before. He took his time with me. Opened up new feelings and made me realize that not all men were monsters.

Ripped from my life at a young age, I spent years in a hell I wasn’t sure I would ever survive. But I did. Only to become a shell of the woman I once was.

With him, the dark and handsome stranger who saved me, he helped me find my voice again. While he was gentle, I knew that there was a dominant man in him I needed.

As I opened up to him and gave him my truths, he showed me a passionate side to myself I thought was lost forever.

I was the pet he needed.

He was the Sir I craved.

-Cyrus-

She was quiet.

Withdrawn.

A good girl.

Ainsley Cloet was the submissive I had spent years looking for. She was passionate and fierce. The strongest woman I had ever met. But she kept those parts of herself hidden after spending years locked up at the hands of vile human beings.

While we became closer, my brother became moodier. Spending our lives trying to mask the pain of losing our parents at a young age, neither of us thought we could find the happiness we both deserved.

After earning Ainsley’s trust, falling in love, and making promises about our future, someone who had been lurking in the shadows the whole time finally let himself be known.

But no matter the damage that had been caused, I would be there.

At her side.

As her protector.

And as her Dom.

I was given this book by the author for an honest review 

Ainsley went through a ton in her life she was taken and held against her will in a brothel that did the unimaginable to her and causing her to quit talking completely to her it was her safe home and helped her survive. She was now working at the center and was offered to teach American Sign Language, to others since that was her form of speaking, and Ainsley loved it, but she still had to look behind her back and watch out because some of the men that took her escaped and would want to come after her. Cyrus wasn’t one to fall for a women he was just helping the club, fighting when he needed to release some tension and going to the bar with his brother. That was until he saw sweet Ainsley and she as gonna make this biker fall to his knees and he wouldn’t even knew what hit him. Will these two help each other face their demons of their past and help each other trust someone or will the demons get their way and send them into a pit that they will never get out of. Oh this story grabbed my heart and held on i loved these characters and their story is just what you would need.

#wotr #newrelease #standalone #partofaseries Perfect Chance (Mason Creek 18) by Molly McLean  

Leave a comment


They spent one night together, and then chance brought them back together again.

Carly

I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve lived a privileged life. But I’ve worked hard not to let my good fortune go to my head. I’ve kept myself grounded, and much to the dismay of my mother and my NFL star ex-boyfriend, I want to do something meaningful with my life. Something I can call my own.

Hooking up with the cute guy at the bar who seemed to figure me out with a single glance? Not exactly that kind of purposeful adventure I had in mind, but I’m living for me now, so what could one night of fun hurt?

Kaden

I met the girl of my dreams in a Denver bar. The only problem is I’m not the kind of a guy a lady like Carly thinks about when the night is over. And when she walked out of my hotel room, I thought I’d never see her again.

Until she showed up on Mason Creek on a mission.

She didn’t know she’d find me here, and I’ll be damned if I believe our running into each other again is anything less than fate. Chance brought us together once, and I’ve gotta believe there’s a reason it’s brought us back together again, too.

Turns out that reason isn’t what either of us had planned for our lives, and I’m willing to do whatever it takes to prove I’m up to the challenge.

Only problem is…

I’m not the only one vying for Carly’s heart.

Carly was born with a sliver spoon in her mouth but she wanted more for herself she didn’t want to depend on her parents or a man for the things she wants in life so when her current boyfriend an NFL star pops the question she turn him down because he wants her to give up on her dreams. A while later Carly and her bestie end up at a bar in Denver to celebrate graduation and while her bestie goes. To flirt with some locals Carly has a handsome cowboy offering to buy her a drink and next thing she knows she was in his hotel room and had a wild night. Kaden cant stop thinking about that night after Carly left him alone in his room with out getting her number or even her last name. Things are about to get crazier for these two when chance and fate have something to do with it and with the possible chance her ex tries to get her back. This story was so good i couldn’t put it down, i was so invested into these characters so much.

The Ocean hides many secrets, and my family has uncovered one of them.

My name is Coralee Eldimire and I was dragged into the secrets my family has been keeping from me. The Eldimire Aquarium and Animal Sanctuary, was more than that. It was a testing site.

A testing site for shifters. The place I thought was made by hard work and passion was actually made by torture and the deaths of creatures I never knew existed.

I found this out the hard way that these shifters are more than they seem. They aren’t mindless or monsters…they were something more. The shark shifters that I had gotten to know only want one thing: freedom and I was their way out. Though it seemed they wanted me for more than an escape route.

These shifters wanted to keep me, and I was starting to have a hard time saying no. With my family trying to keep the shifters or kill them, I have my work cut out for me…and I may learn to be a stronger person on the way.

I was given this audiobook by the author for an honest review

Coralee was working in her family business, in the local aquarium. Her mom was a scientist and working on different species of marine life. Her brother helped and Cora was mostly in charge of filing papers and small task to help her mom. But little did Cora know that behind the walls where she worked was a huge family secret that she didn’t know about, that there were shark coming into the aquarium and Cora was terrified of sharks, but that wasn’t all she didn’t know, those sharks where actually shifters. So will Cora ever find out that secret her family is keeping from her or will she be forever in the depths of their secrets. So this was my first shark shifters book and it didn’t disappoint it was soooo good 4 sexy shark shifters how much better can that get.

Derek

The sound of the gavel crashing down,

Has my life flashing before my eyes.

Learning to play ball.

Falling in love,

Marrying an incredible woman and starting a family

Becoming a starting pitcher for the Indianapolis Lightning.

Everything I ever wanted… Until I struck out.

The same success that gave me the life I dreamed of,

Took it all away.

I’d do anything for a second chance,

Even throw the perfect pitch.

Jillian

A signature on a piece of paper…

It binds you to someone, or it can tear them away.

It broke my heart to file the papers.

Gutted me to sign them.

But this isn’t the life I envisioned.

Tired of competing to be his number one priority,

I had to walk away from the man I loved.

I needed to be strong for our girls, for me.

Life goes on.

People can change.

Now he wants a second chance.

But can I forgive the man who threw it all away, and trust that he won’t do it again?

Review by Twinsie Dee

I bought this book and this is my honest opinion 

Derek just heard worst thing he’s ever heard in his life the judges gavel stating that his marriage is officially over. His wife Jillian filed for divorce because she was fed up with his parting and acting like he was single when she was home all the time raising their girls when he was on the road playing baseball. With the marriage final that gave Derek the biggest wake up call he ever had, it was time to get his shit together and get his family back at any cost. Jillian was heartbroken and hurt that she no had to send her kids overnight to their dad’s, she never wanted to file for divorce but he I didn’t have a choice. Will Derek get his head outta his ass and be able to win his wife and her heart back or did his one shot get thrown away with his past. Wow this was such a good story and of course throwing kids into the story line makes it better.

Too bad nothing is ever as it seems.

I’m back in Hill Crest, and it looks like I may have made an enemy last time I was in town.

I’m supposed to lie low, but when a long-time friend of dad comes looking for help to find his missing wife, I have a very hard time telling him no.

As if finding a missing woman wasn’t enough, I’m starting to think I might be haunted. Add in three men that want to finish what we started years ago and I’m thinking my dance card might be a little over booked.

Perfectly Wicked is the third book in the Magical Bureau of Investigation series. This is a slow burn RH or whychoose novel with adult situations.

Trouble always seems to find Will Murphy. Or maybe it’s Will that’s the trouble. His disregard for his actions and his constant lack of responsibilities are his trademark.

One kiss from a sweet girl like Miley Reese may be exactly what he needs. It just might be the jolt of electricity that motivates him to get his act together.

I was given this book by the author for an honest review

Miley was a shy and quiet girl stayed to herself and didn’t really have much. She didn’t have family her adoptive parent have both passed and she doesn’t want to believe she has family in the friends she has. Miley has been through a lot with her ex boyfriend she has a hard time trusting people. Will is the playboy of Mason Creek, never wanting to settle down and always finding someway to mess things up in his life. Ever since his dad passed away he lived at home and just cant seem to get his shit in order. But in a dark corner at Will’s brothers wedding these two were found locking lips and its been all Will can think of since then. Is that kiss the one that tamed the playboy and brings out the wild side of the shy girl or will it be the complete opposite. This book was so cute and the more i thought i was going to dislike Will the more i actually started loving him.

C.A. Harms is an avid romance and mystery reader. She’s always had a love for books, getting lost in writing and storytelling even as a young girl. She enjoys happy endings and HEA love stories.

She lives in Illinois and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. She holds an addiction for Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha’s and KitKat when she should really be focusing on water and maybe a fruit or two to make herself feel less guilty, but that feeling quickly passes…thankfully.

She is easy going, fun, and although she may seem like one of the quiet ones at first, you just wait until she gets to know you better…that quietness changes, fast

Genevieve Jack

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I’m USA Today bestselling and multi-award winning author Genevieve Jack and I write wild, witty, and wicked-hot paranormal romance and romantic fantasy. I believe there’s magic in every breath we take and probably something supernatural living in our dark basements. You can summon me with coffee, wine, and books, but I stick around for dogs and chocolate. My novels feature badass heroines, fiercely loyal heroes, and fantasy elements that will fill you with wonder.

When you are writing a book, which is harder? The first book in the series or the others after it?

Probably the first because I’m establishing the world and the magic system that the rest of the series will develop.

When writing a series how do you keep things fresh, for both your readers and also yourself?

Even though my characters are paranormal creatures, the themes of my books revolve around real life events and emotions. Because each book features different characters in different situations, there really isn’t much overlap in the stories. They are tied together by a series arc and common goals in some cases, but other than that, each is an original work.

Writing can be an emotionally draining and stressful pursuit. Any tips for aspiring writers?

Most writers I know have wanted to do this since they were little and genuinely enjoy the process of creating their art. If this describes you, learn your craft and then keep writing until you finish your book. Write for the joy of it first. You can fix imperfections when you’re done by working with a professional editor, or keep that first book just for you and write another book.

On a typical day, how much time do you spend writing?

4-6 hours

Do you have a favorite character that you have written? If so, who? And what makes them so special.

I do love Nathaniel from The Dragon of Cecil Court. There’s something about a dragon who owns a bookstore in London that’s exceptionally magical to me.

If any of your books were to be made into a movie, who are the celebrities that would star in it? What book and who?

The Dragon of New Orleans featuring Henry Cavill and Elizabeth Gillies

What is your definition of success?

Waking up every morning knowing I have good friends, loving family, and purposeful work.
